5-Ingredient Marinated Tomatoes: Flavor Explosion!
Marinated tomatoes: craft these incredibly flavorful 5-ingredient tomatoes in minutes. Perfect for salads, appetizers, or as a vibrant side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 clove garlic, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly minced herbs (I like parsley)
- salt to taste (I use about 1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt)
Instructions
- Halve or quarter the cherry or grape tomatoes and place them in a small bowl.
- Add the finely grated garlic, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, minced fresh herbs, and kosher salt to the bowl.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the tomatoes are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- For the best flavor, allow the marinated tomatoes to rest for at least 2-3 hours in the fridge. Overnight is even better!
- While parsley is recommended, don't hesitate to experiment with other fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or a mix of your favorites.
- Always bring the marinated tomatoes back to room temperature before serving; this enhances their natural sweetness and overall taste. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
